Mediterranean Smoked Ham Pizza

Method

  1. 1

    Heat your oven as hot as it will go (250°C+) with a pizza stone or heavy tray inside for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stretch each dough ball on a lightly floured surface to about 28cm round. Move to baking paper.

  3. 3

    Spread half the crushed tomatoes thinly over each base, leaving a 2cm border. Season with salt.

  4. 4

    Scatter over the mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and olives. Drizzle with olive oil.

  5. 5

    Slide onto the hot stone and bake 7–10 minutes until the crust is blistered and the cheese is bubbling.

  6. 6

    Pull from the oven and immediately drape the Mt Warning Smoked Ham over the hot pizza so it warms gently without cooking out the flavour.

  7. 7

    Pile on the rocket, shave over parmesan, finish with a final drizzle of olive oil and cracked pepper. Slice and serve.

Cook's tips

  • Always add the ham off the heat - high oven temperatures dry out smoked meats and dull the flavour.
  • A few drops of good aged balsamic over the rocket lifts the whole pizza.
